CertainTeed: industry pioneer CertainTeed offers style, variety in roofing.

Not so long ago it was easy to choose a shingle for a particular job. After all, there was only one basic style on the market, and it had little variation in color or style. This is no longer the case. Today, through creative product design and development, the roofing industry offers an array

In the 1960s, CertainTeed pioneered the first architectural or designer asphalt alternative to the standard three-tab design: the Halhnark Shangle[TM]. Now, years later, architectural shingles are favored among builders across the nation and the styles are seemingly limitless.

Among the most popular are shingles made with the CertainTeed Super Shangle construction. These heavyweight shingles offer multiple layers of protection, add dimension through deep shadow lines and are backed by exceptional waranties. For custom construction, style and design are obviously important; however, with roofs accounting for as much as 40 percent of a home's exterior, protection and warranties are equally important to both builder and buyer.

Today's architectural shingles authentically mimic the look of natural slate and wood shakes. It's almost uncanny. For instance, the newest introductions to the CertainTeed line of high-performance designer shingles include the breakthrough Centennial Slate[TM] that replicates the true look of blended slate as well as the tri-laminate Landmark[TM] TLIR, which gives the look of split shakes while meeting UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Resistance of Prepared Roof Covering Materials.
